Easy Garlic Parmesan Pull-Apart Bread Recipe
This pull-apart bread features fluffy dough coated in a garlic butter mixture and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. It takes about 1 hour to prepare and bake, serving 8 people as a side dish.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water (110°F)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix melted butter and minced garlic. Set aside.
- Shape the Bread: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small pieces. Dip each piece into the garlic butter, then layer them in a greased bundt pan. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese between layers.
- Final Rise: Cover the pan and let the dough rise for another 20-30 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool for a few minutes before inverting onto a serving platter.
- Serve: Brush any remaining garlic butter on top and sprinkle with parsley if desired. Serve warm.
